Donald Trump Wins The Presidential Election

Republican Donald J. Trump has been elected president of the United States of America, Deaf feminists and queers stunned.

WASHINGTON -- Donald Trump will become the 45th president of the United States, CNN projects, a historic victory for outsiders that represents a stunning repudiation of Washington's political establishment. The billionaire real estate magnate and former reality star needed an almost perfect run through the swing states -- and he got it, winning Ohio, North Carolina and Florida.

The Republican swept to victory over Hillary Clinton in the ultimate triumph for a campaign that repeatedly shattered the conventions of politics to pull off a remarkable upset. Clinton conceded to Trump in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

Speaking at a victory party in New York, Trump was gracious toward Clinton and called for unity.

"We owe (Clinton) a very major debt of gratitude to her for her service to our country," Trump said. "I say it is time for us to come together as one united people."

He added: "I pledge to every citizen of our land that I will be president for all Americans."

Trump won with 288 electoral votes compared to 215 for Clinton, according to CNN projections. Latest election results.

Trump's supporters embraced his plainspoken style, assault on political correctness and vow to crush what he portrayed in the final days of his campaign as a corrupt, globalized elite -- epitomized by the Clintons -- that he claimed conspired to keep hard-working Americans down.

His winning coalition of largely white, working-class voters suggests a populace desperate for change and disillusioned with an entire generation of political leaders and the economic and political system itself.

Now, Trump faces the task of uniting a nation traumatized by the ugliest campaign in modern history and ripped apart by political divides exacerbated by his own explosive rhetoric -- often along the most tender national fault lines such as race and gender.

Trump is sure to follow his own playbook -- Trump will be the first president to enter the White House with no political, diplomatic or military executive experience. His victory will send shockwaves around the world, given his sparse foreign policy knowledge, haziness over nuclear doctrine, vow to curtail Muslim immigration and disdain for US alliances that have been the bedrock of the post-World War II foreign policy.

His promises to renegotiate or dump trade deals such as NAFTA and to brand China a currency manipulator risk triggering immediate economic shocks around the globe.

Global markets already began tumbling late Tuesday.

Trump, 70, will be the oldest president ever sworn in for a first term and will take the helm of a nation left deeply divided by his scorched-earth campaign. His victory was built on fierce anger at the Washington establishment and political elites among his grass-roots voters, many of whom feel they are the victims of a globalized economy that has resulted in the loss of millions of jobs.

His victory ends Clinton's crusade to become the first woman to ever rise to the nation's highest office. It's a humiliating chapter in the long political career of Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton.

Trump's win also deals a painful rebuke to President Barack Obama, whom he pursued for years with his birtherism campaign built on the false premise that Obama was born outside the United States. Now Trump will have the power to eviscerate Obama's political legacy -- including the Affordable Care Act, the latter's proudest domestic achievement.

But there are deeper, more fundamental questions about Trump's presidency that will be key to his capacity to unify a deeply divided country and appeal to Americans who will feel outraged and disgusted by his victory.

He's got the attention of the whole world -- Trump's campaign was built on rage, falsehoods and singling out culprits for the ills of modern America, including undocumented migrants, foreign nations such as China and Muslim immigrants.

He mocked a disabled New York Times reporter, vowed to use the power of the presidency to put Clinton in jail and pledged to sue women who accused him of sexual assault.

Trump has promised to build a wall on the southern border and make Mexico pay for it, and to deport undocumented migrants. He has vowed to reintroduce interrogation methods for terror suspects that are more extreme than waterboarding.

So the demeanor that Trump will adopt as president and the manner in which he will behave will be closely watched -- not just in the United States, but among nervous leaders abroad.

One of the many uncertainties about Trump's coming presidency is how his White House will interact with Republicans in Congress - and whether he and GOP leaders will heal their rift from the campaign.

Republicans repelled a Democratic bid to recapture the Senate, giving the GOP control over Capitol Hill and the White House.

That means it would fall to the GOP either to rubber stamp policies likely to mark a break from conservative orthodoxy or to provide a check on the power of Trump, who has shown every sign he will use executive power aggressively.

House Speaker Paul Ryan will face intense pressure from pro-Trump members of his own coalition to cooperate with the new president.

Senate Republicans, meanwhile, are likely to hold Trump's feet to the fire to ensure he lives up to his promise to appoint justices who could ensure a generational conservative majority on the U.S. Supreme Court.

Clinton apparently failed to reassemble the diverse coalition that helped Obama win the presidency in 2008 and 2012.

The events of Clinton's terrible final week on the campaign -- the revival of her email controversy by FBI Chief James Comey and a damaging drip, drip, drip of revelations by WikiLeaks which her campaign says was orchestrated by Russian intelligence -- could have helped consign her to defeat.

There also is the question of Trump's temperament. Clinton repeatedly warned that he was unfit to control the nuclear codes because he could be baited with a tweet.

Obama passionately denounced Trump as intellectually and temperamentally unfit to succeed him in the Oval Office.

But now, he will be forced to greet his successor on the morning of Inauguration Day in January, and look on while he is sworn in as the 45th president of the United States.

DGM and NAD - Partners For Deaf Rights

Deaf Grassroots Movement and National Association of the Deaf as the partners for Deaf Rights in the United States.



WASHINGTON, DC -- Get outside and find a street corner on October 20th! Fight for our rights for access, education, and employment. Last week, the Deaf Grassroots Movement (DGM) and the National Association of the Deaf (NAD) met via videoconference.

To activate this feature, press the "CC" button.

We talked about how we can work together, build a relationship between DGM and NAD, and identify our plans for the future. The primary focus of our discussion was about October 20th. On that day, in 85 cities across America, people will stand at a street corner with signages to bring attention to three important issues for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community: access, education, and employment.

Howard - DGM and the NAD work together and support each other. Allow me to explain how. The NAD has always met with the federal government to discuss various issues including education, employment, and access. While such discussions are productive, sometimes we get nowhere. Thanks to DGM’s movement and making noise about our needs, the federal government reached out the NAD recognizing the their actions. This helps the NAD continue the dialogue we want to have with the federal government. I am very appreciative of the work DGM has done to support the rights of deaf and hard of hearing people.

So, October 20th is a very important day! You can get involved by looking for the DGM Facebook page in your state, and find out details about October 20th. You can join for an hour, a few hours, or all day! Your time contributed to this movement will have an impact across the country! This movement will occur every now and then, not just October 20th, so we can remain visible and bring attention to the community including the politicians. We want them to know that we are still here!

Deaf Drag Queen Dazzles DeafNation World Expo

Deaf drag queen dazzles the audiences of DeafNation World Expo in the sin city of Las Vegas.

LAS VEGAS, NV -- KTNV Channel 13: When you come to Las Vegas, when you dance on the Strip, the music is almost all you hear.

One performer takes to the stage in high heels and a tiara hearing absolutely nothing. Jolene is a drag queen who lives in Las Vegas. She is also fully Deaf. She may not speak, but she is not quiet.

"A lot of people can't believe that a Deaf person can do it," said Jolene, through an American Sign Language interpreter.

She's been doing drag for three years and has never met another Deaf drag queen. This may not be the job that pays the bills, but she loves signing songs and apparently crowds love it too.

"Oh yeah, people are really surprised, people are really shocked. People announce that I'm Deaf and it shows; people clap like this they say yay!" said Jolene.

When she's performing, she follows a screen and feels the vibrations of the music with the help of a hearing aid.

Even though she's one of many performers in Las Vegas for the Deaf Nation World Expo she stands out, and a few inches taller, than the rest.

You can catch one of her weekend shows at Charlie's Las Vegas on Arville Street.

Life and Deaf - BBC4 Documentary

BBC4 Documentary 'Life and Deaf' An immersive, experiential film in BSL about the Deaf world, with its unique humour and culture.

LONDON, UK -- An immersive, experiential film about the Deaf world, with its unique humour and culture - a world which most of us rarely encounter. The film is in British Sign Language. There is no score, no commentary, and none of the conventions of normal film-making.

The film follows some of the key characters who frequent St John's Deaf Club in north London as they face life's twists and turns and challenges.

The Costis are a big Deaf family. Tina Costi and her football-mad husband Marios are expecting a baby. For generations in Marios's family, boys are always born Deaf and girls are always born hearing. Will this new Costi baby break with tradition?

Like the Costis, Abigail also comes from a big Deaf family. She has just turned 30 and is about to make one of the biggest decisions of her life. She is considering undergoing surgery to have a cochlear implant fitted to help her deteriorating hearing, and also to better connect with her hearing friends. Abigail wants to be part of both worlds. But it's a controversial decision for her family, who proudly trace their Deaf Heritage back eight generations. How will this affect her relationship with both her family and the wider Deaf community?

At the heart of St John's Deaf Club is its football team. The rivalry between Deaf football teams is intense. Marios's brother Memnos is captain of the team. He eats, sleeps and breathes football. Passionate to the point of obsession, can he inspire his team to win the English Deaf Cup for the second time in a row?

Deaf Grassroots Movement at Florida State Capitol

Deaf News: Deaf protestors say its time to fight inequality, discrimination and oppression by the hearing in the state of Florida.

TALLAHASSEE, FL -- Tallahassee Democrat: Nearly 30 members of the Deaf Grassroots Movement rallied Wednesday at the Old Capitol. It was part of a nationwide demonstration at all 50 state capitals to call for better education, more job opportunities and acceptance by society in the Untied States.

The DGM aims to fight for the rights of the Deaf and future generations in the Deaf community in all 50 states. On Wednesday all 50 state capitols will have a rally for Deaf Rights, including Tallahassee, Florida.

Occasionally cars passing by on Monroe Street would honk their horns in support, but there was no reaction from the protestors. They were a quiet bunch but fingers started flying, eyes grew wide and faces filled with expressions when word spread a reporter was in their midst.

“So I can’t hear,” Bob Webb of Tallahassee signaled to a man carrying a notebook. “I have a brain. I have a heart.”

The Deaf Grassroots Movement formed in September after a protest at the White House in Washington, D.C. The group says education opportunities for Deaf children are abysmal when compared to those of children who can hear.

The activists planned the 50-state rally to raise awareness of their plight and to issue a call to action to the Deaf community and its allies to fight inequality, discrimination and the oppression Deaf people face.

Webb indicated that the Americans with Disabilities Act was a good thing but needed to be amended to include services geared toward the Deaf.

The group protesting in Tallahassee ranged in age from a middle-school student, who carried a sign saying “Please Invest in My Education,” to an elderly man with a long gray ponytail and ZZ Top-like beard.

Other signs proclaimed sign language as a birthright language, explained that hearing doesn’t make you a better person and listed how the hearing discriminate against the Deaf.

Webb explained the Deaf community feels the state is failing to provide them an equal opportunity in education, employment and in pursuing the American dream.

When asked what he wanted, Webb took to pen and paper from and wrote,

Stop discriminating against us in employment.
Audioism hurts us because they want us to be like hearing people.
Give us fair access, like all other communities.

“Don’t limit me,” Webb signaled. “So I can’t hear. So what?”

Deaf Grassroots Movement at Idaho State House

Deaf News - Deaf community holds rally at the Idaho State House.

BOISE, ID -- Several members of the Deaf community gathered Wednesday afternoon in front of the Statehouse to raise awareness of the issues they say they're facing here in Idaho. It was one of 50 rallies hosted by the Deaf Grassroots Movement, taking place simultaneously in all 50 states.

The DGM aims to fight for the rights of the Deaf and future generations in the Deaf community in all 50 states. On Wednesday all 50 state capitols will have a rally for Deaf Rights, including Boise, Idaho.

"One of the biggest problems is their limiting or ability to communicate," said presenter David G. Wilder.

They want to educate others on what can be done to make their lives better.

"We got a lot of issues that we are faced with," said Alan Wilder of the Idaho Association of the Deaf. "The American with Disabilities Act that was set up a long time ago, but it's not quite sufficient enough, enough where as Deaf people are still fighting everyday to receive interpreters or get equal access to information."

Organizers say that quality education, jobs and healthcare just aren't available to many Deaf people in the state. Because, they say, they don't have access to qualified sign language interpreters.

"In smaller communities it's not very well set up, but you know in hospitals they usually have that, but if you go to doctor's office or counseling services, they don't have those services," said Alan Wilder.

And while these people are all too familiar with the challenges they face every day. They say no one else will talk about them without them.

Alan Wilder said the Idaho Association of the Deaf plans to push for stronger and clearer laws surrounding Deaf interpreters in Idaho in 2017. Copyright 2016 KTVB.

Deaf Grassroots Movement Rally at RI State House

Deaf News: Deaf Grassroots Movement supporters rally at the Rhode Island State House.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- The Providence Journal: About 80 people, most of them Deaf and wearing bright green T-shirts that illustrated the sign language for "equality," followed by the word "now!" rallied at the State House on Wednesday.

The rally was one of 50 all-day rallies taking place around the country in the Deaf Grassroots Movement.

The DGM aims to fight for the rights of the Deaf and future generations in the Deaf community in all 50 states. On Wednesday all 50 state capitols will have a rally for Deaf Rights, including Providence, Rhode Island.

Some of those wearing the green shirts, which listed the movement's five goals on the back - education, jobs, language rights, equal accessibility and communication access were supporters of a Deaf person, and some in their own matching black T-shirts were members of an interpreters group.

Governor Raimondo's outreach manager, David Allard, listened to the spoken interpretation as each speaker signed to the group. When Allard spoke, a sign-language interpreter stood beside him to sign his statement that the governor is committed to creating opportunities for all Rhode Islanders.

Jill DeCosta, 53, of Smithfield, was one of the organizers and spoke of feeling invisible at her job in the Rhode Island Family Court because she is excluded from meetings and conferences for lack of an interpreter.

She said that nationwide, 72 percent of Deaf people are unemployed, and that in Rhode Island, the Office of Rehabilitation Services has had a Deaf services position go unfilled for months.

Instead of clapping, the Deaf-Friendly crowd applauded each speaker by fluttering their hands in the air.

A class from the Rhode Island School for the Deaf attended.

Charley Thorn, 32, of Chepachet, who is Deaf and who works as an interpreter for the Deaf, repeated each speaker's sign language directly to a woman who who is Deaf as well as legally blind.

He said later, through an interpreter, that he appreciated the chance to let "our voice be heard."

"All we want to do is have equality with communication," he said.

Doctor's offices and hospitals often do not provide an interpreter for a Deaf person, attendees said, nor are interpreters provided for a Deaf applicant at a job interview. In both cases, the Americans with Disabilities Act requires that an interpreter be provided.

Rhode Island doesn't have enough interpreters and lacks an interpreter training program, said Steven Florio, executive director of the R.I. Commission on the Deaf and Hard of Hearing.

Deaf Advocates at the Massachusetts State House

Deaf News: Deaf, blind encounter higher barriers to addiction treatment at the Massachusetts State House.

BOSTON, MA -- Marie Hoffmeister said she has been searching for weeks for a detox unit or substance abuse treatment facility that will help her overcome addiction and become sober. But there’s been one major roadblock in her attempts to seek help: Hoffmeister is Deaf-Blind.

“I’ve struggled and fought for weeks and weeks, and they said, ‘Well we can’t serve you, we can’t find interpreters for you, you won’t have communication access,’ and it’s been extremely frustrating,” Hoffmeister told the News Service through an interpreter. “It’s time to change, it has to be time to change. People want to come back from this, but they can’t. There’s nowhere for them to go because there’s no communication access.”

Hoffmeister was among hundreds of people who gathered on Boston Common on Wednesday to raise awareness and increase political pressure to address the needs of Deaf, Deaf-Blind and Hard of Hearing individuals. Wednesday’s event, sponsored by the Deaf Grassroots Movement of Massachusetts, is part of a national effort to bring attention to issues in the Deaf community.

The DGM aims to fight for the rights of the Deaf and future generations in the Deaf community in all 50 states. On Wednesday all 50 state capitols will have a rally for Deaf Rights, including Boston, Massachusetts.

Hoffmeister said she’s been working with Tabatha Patrican, a Deaf woman who has been in recovery for more than a year, to try to find a treatment facility that can meet her needs.

“For three weeks we’ve gone through interviews, the paperwork process, what if she died tomorrow? The state would be responsible for her death if that were to happen,” Patrican said through an interpreter. “We need to have money provided for halfway houses, for trainers, for interpreters. They need to understand we’re at risk, we’re in danger, we need support, we need guidelines for this.”

The Massachusetts Commission for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (MCDHH) said that it spends approximately $350,000 annually to ensure individuals have access to meetings, day treatment, and other services with American Sign Language interpreters or Communication Access Realtime Translation (CART) support.

“We have partnered with the Department of Public Health to bolster our efforts for opioid-related supports and will continue to work to make sure there is equal access … for every individual who is seeking treatment,” Aurora Wilber, spokesperson for MCDHH, said in a statement. “We are also pursuing initiatives in five key areas aimed at improving coordination of treatment, increasing technology to aid in communication, education and training programs in response to our population’s needs.”

During fiscal 2015, MCDHH provided 6,389 hours of ASL interpreting and CART services in substance abuse settings in response to 3,427 service requests, the commission said. The commission is also implementing a program to train Deaf peer supports to use Narcan, an opioid overdose reversal drug.

Patrican said detox centers have told her they don’t accept Deaf or Deaf-Blind patients and even walking into facilities asking for help has not worked. When an addict is ready to get help, Patrican said, it’s imperative that treatment starts quickly, before the addict could change their mind and continue to use.

“Hearing people can walk in and immediately have services, but for Deaf people there is always a delay,” Patrican said. “I’ve lost two Deaf people from drugs. And they died because there was no treatment available to them.”

Eveleen Cunningham, a licensed alcohol and substance abuse counselor who has been in recovery for more than 30 years, said there is a high rate of relapse among Deaf individuals in recovery because they don’t have complete access to the same kinds of treatment and support programs that hearing individuals have.

Despite Beacon Hill’s laser-like focus on the opioid epidemic, Cunningham said the Deaf community has largely been forgotten because “there isn’t enough advocacy to increase services and there isn’t a focus on addressing Deaf services for people who are in recovery.”

“Gov. (Charlie) Baker has funded a lot for opioid treatment and addiction recovery, but nothing specifically for Deaf individuals that would be available around the clock,” Cunningham said through an interpreter. “We need funding, we need treatment options that focus on the continuum of services for substance abuse, including 12-step programs adapted for Deaf individuals so they can understand and access it.”

In the mid-1980s, Cunningham, who is Deaf, sought help for her own addiction. She said she had to fight to get into a treatment program and then had to teach the counselors there some rudimentary sign language so they could work with her. Since then, she has worked with and mentored deaf individuals starting their own recovery.

“The system has improved a little bit since my time, but not significantly,” Cunningham said. “There’s all kinds of treatment centers in Massachusetts, but if a Deaf person shows up when they’re ready to accept treatment, it’s never available on demand like it is for hearing individuals.” Copyright 2016 State House News Service.

Deaf Grassroots Movement at Maine State Capitol

Deaf News: Maine residents rally to raise awareness of Deaf issues at the Maine State Capitol.

AUGUSTA, ME - More than 100 Mainers who are Deaf, Hard of Hearing, or both Deaf and Blind, converged on Augusta today as part of a national civil rights rally that took place at more than 45 state capitols.

The protestors marched around the state Capitol holding handmade signs as part the National Rally for Deaf Rights.

The DGM aims to fight for the rights of the Deaf and future generations in the Deaf community in all 50 states. On Wednesday all 50 state capitols will have a rally for Deaf Rights, including Augusta, Maine.

Curt Barsness, of Ellsworth, said the aim of the rally is to raise awareness of problems facing the Deaf community, which he said show no signs of improving.

Some of the issues concerning the group include the disappearance of American Sign Language as the language of instruction for Deaf children, denial of employment opportunities, discrimination in the workplace, lack of access to public services or appropriate accommodations in hospitals and doctors' offices.

The rally was part of the national Deaf Grassroots Movement that Barsness said is working to support participants' efforts to access opportunities in education, employment and linguistics.
